I have a 2016 Mirada 35 KB with residential fridge. I had it plugged into 50 amp service. I noticed generator hours were increasing. Why does it run?. I assume to charge batteries but if hooked up to shore power why would it run? What do I need to do to keep it from running?

Sounds as though it's mis-wired, meter is monitoring shore Voltage in lieu of generator output.
The auto run *may* be programmed to run at specific times even when connected to shore power. Also, if shore power is cutting out at times and the battery voltage drops, the genny should start to recharge the batteries.
agreed re wiring. There should be a wire going to your 110V system. Mine is connected to an 110V outlet via a 12v adapter. If there is power it keeps the AGS from starting. In addition, some require you to actually engage the system to monitor battery voltage and/or hi-temp. wish I could help more
Thanks. I'll pass along to service dept. they haven't come up with a good answer yet. It would help if Coachmen had a decent manual. Not a generic A Gas motor home book.
I took to dealer in December. Service said it was wired wrong and the hour meter was running but the generator wasn't. Also said there is no way the gen will run automatically on a gas coach. The hours have not increased so I thought they knew what they were talking about. Coach has been plugged into shore power for 7 weeks while we were gone.Sunday I cranked up gen and V10 and let run for a short time. I wake up this morning at 4:30 and what do I hear? Generator on motor home is running. Has anybody had a gen start automatically or am I blessed with the only one Coachman made? All input is greatly appreciated.
I contacted Nate at Coachmen. He said take it to Cummins. If it is generator related the warranty should cover cost. If it is coach related I am to pay for it and Coachmen will reimburse me. I finally got MH toRocky Mountain Cummins in Albuquerque. Wiring checked out good. They changed the main board on the gen. Should solve problem. I highly recommend Rocky Mountain Cummins. Excellent, friendly service. Ken is the generator guru. He was checking out the coach before I got paperwork filled out. Thanks to everybody for the input and suggestions on this thread.
